If you're someone who likes to keep an overview of all the apps on your computer, then the next Start menu tweak is worth considering.
The Windows 11 Start menu has an updated design that differs from previous versions of Windows. For example, the Windows 11 start menu is divided into different sections with pinned apps and a recommended section that displays frequently used files, folders and apps.
Some people prefer to have an overview of all apps in a list. This means that all apps are listed from top to bottom, sorted by alphabet. This is still possible with an adjustment. For this we are going to use a tool called “ExplorerPatcher”. This is how it works.
Show all applications as a list in the Windows 11 Start menu
You can make various adjustments to the Windows 11 “Shell” with ExplorerPatcher. I would like to note that problems can arise when using ExplorerPatcher. Please keep this in mind if you experience unexpected problems with updates or changes to the appearance of Windows 11 after installing this software.
To begin download ExplorerPatcher to your computer. After running the installation file, the screen will go black for a moment and you will immediately see a taskbar that is recognizable as the taskbar from Windows 10.
Right-click on it and click “Properties”.
Now enable the option “Open Start by default in All apps” and click on “Restart Explorer” at the bottom left.
If you now open the start menu, you will see that all apps are immediately visible in a list sorted by alphabet.
If it doesn't work now, you can remove ExplorerPatcher as follows.
Right-click on the taskbar and then click “Properties” or search for “ExplorerPatcher” and go to the “Uninstall” section, or use “Programs and Features” in the Control Panel or “Apps and Features” in the Settings app, or run ep_setup.exe /uninstall, or rename ep_setup.exe to ep_uninstall.exe and run that.
I hope to have informed you with this. Thank you for reading!
